I should have thought of this. This is fixed in v2.

Actually, I think it might be important. IIUC the separate calls to
HaveNFreeProcs might return different values for the same input, which
could result in incorrect error messages (e.g., you might get the
reserved_connections message despite setting reserved_connections to 0).
So, I made this change in v2, too.

I chose to set reserved_connections to 0 since it is new and doesn't have a
pre-existing default value.
